Agree 100% We also have an advantage over Dortmund & Leipzig in that we are in the Premier League. Obviously in the position we are now that isn't enough but if we can consistently offer European and Premier League football, it gives us a better chance than those two clubs of holding on to our talented players.

I'm currently at debilitating myself but hoping that a few pints and some solid transfer rumours might get me down to severe. I'm at 4. Severe. Was going to go out to the local today but I just cannot face it. Think that falls nicely under the "Isolation" bit. I'm just gunna shut the curtains and go to bed. God I Hope we sign someone soon.

I'm in at about 0.5, checking for transfers slightly more than usual, no feelings of anxiety, able to get things done (in a manner, I'm a lazy git), no physical symptoms. I know a couple of 2s, one mate and one workmate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are cash flow, iirc Burnley we’re bought using loans and likely with business plan which involved being in the premier league. I agree. I also think that for Burnley the cash flow is a bigger issue than FFP. Since Burnley paid for factoring then they almost certainly would’ve accepted a lower fee. It would have been worse for us from a cash perspective but better from FFP, and if FFP is our only financial constraint then we should’ve taken the hit and given a shareholder loan to the club if required. I’m sure there’s a good reason we structured it in instalment, I’m just struggling to think of why. Overall I think we should be doing everything to keep our FFP burden as low as possible. I’m not suggesting in any way that we should do this, especially such a professional organisation like PIF, but even thinking of things like giving say Neymar a percentage of the club ownership (but no seat) as a signing bonus. Obviously that particular scenario probably wouldn’t work as there would be a monetary value of the shares but you could also argue that there is no direct cost to the club other than the legal fees.

Abacus Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 4 hours ago, Keegans Export said: Unless I'm misreading it, the paperwork lodged at CH is Burnley taking out a loan and using the future installments in the Pope transfer as collateral - basically "You know we can pay this loan off because we're getting these payments over the next three years". Seems to me that if they'd got the £10m up-front they'd have been better off. They did the same with the installments due on Chris Wood's transfer fee. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-accounts-macquarie-bank-pace-23880335 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillingtonMag Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Got a feeling its going to be Harrison and Paqueta and a forward on loan. Tbh I'd be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It's incredibly unlikely that we sign Paqueta. Although those who keep suggesting it clearly arent listening to reason. We aren't spending 40m on a CM this window when we are refusing to spend that on a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I cannot see how it's mental at all. We play a 4-3-3 with 1 centre forward, and as we've seen in recent years teams don't always need a goalscoring number 9, especially if they can play with inside forwards. The fact Howe mentioned Maxi as being able to play there suggests he wouldn't be against doing the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Paqueta looks world class and potentially a bargain at £40m if that could get him. On paper he instantly transforms our best XI. Edited July 23, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
